Groping Allegation Against Director Of Trump Film ‘The Apprentice’ Leads To Ali Abbasi Breakup With CAA & Entertainment 360


Filmmaker Ali Abbasi has severed ties with U.S. representatives CAA and Entertainment 360 amid allegations of groping an A-list actor.

We’re told there is an ugly backstory here, reminiscent of the kinds of things Abbasi’s screen subject Trump has been accused of. Events unfolded at CAA’s Golden Globes after-party, where, sources said, an inebriated Abbasi aggressively groped an A-list, CAA-repped actor. The filmmaker is also no longer working with the PR firm The Lede Company, though it appears his contract simply expired after the release of The Apprentice, which drew Oscar nominations for Sebastian Stan for his role as a young Donald Trump, and Jeremy Strong for his portrayal of Roy Cohn, the polarizing lawyer who became the mentor for the young wannabe real estate mogul.
